- Jedox Increases Software downloads to Over 1000 Per Week and now Provides Complete Versions of Palo Manuals for Free Download.

Jedox AG has significantly increased the downloads of Palo, its open source business intelligence (BI) software. Currently, Palo is downloaded considerably more than a thousand times per week. To further extend the circulation of Palo as Europe's leading open source BI software, starting December 1 2010 (sic) Palo will release the manuals for the Palo OLAP Server 3.0 and the Palo ETL Server 3.0 for free download. The two comprehensive manuals were previously only available for a charge.

The manuals are now free? This is of interest to me.

You do need to complete a form giving your contact details to download them, but that's the same as the software itself.

(I think we may have had that discussion regardng TM1 once or twice over the last decade, but nobody at Applix wanted to hear that)

Oooh yes, it does sound familiar. If you listen carefully in the now deserted halls of a building in Westborough you can still hear the fading echoes of my voice (amongst others) in the room that once housed the old Forum's server.
